There is no objectionable feature dis closed in this simple promise, and its effect will be the knowledge of most conservative estimate of the quantity of ore that will be supplied. For instance, miner with ffty-tEo tons of ore al- ready on his dumps, may agree to de- liver one ton per week. Rnd in practice be might deliver the fifty-tvo tons at once and fullfili the letter and spirit Of his promise, thereby giving ample lati- tude for the exhaustion of his ore body or the necessity of doing large amount of dead work. At the same time the chances are in favor of his develop ment of ore that will supply ten times the quantity he pledged. The promise, as the CITIZEN interprets it, does not contemplate the pledge of ore that you don't know exists, but that which YOU have in sight and can be rR- lied upon. A mine that nov yields a ton of pay ore per day may, under ordi nary circumstance, be sure of yielding one ton per week. and lt Is this sure basis of supply that the company de- sires to arrive Rt, aud 1t IS hoped that owners of mining claims will lose no time in giving all the encouragement ID this way, to the company, that IS possi- ble.

All were re- turcd within a week but one, and in place Of that came a note saying thet it had been stolen and that the writer would pay for it.

BEST TO TELL THE TRUTH.

Yes, there is no doubt about;
the Advertiser is right. ''1t is best
to tell the truth" about the decrease
of the native population. The truth
may not be palatable at all times,
and man is sometimes considered
an enemy, because he is honest and
tells the truth. Paul seems to have
had little experience of this nature
in his time. But it had no deterring
effect OH his uniformly bold and
courageous proceeding. cam l
your enemy, because tell you the
TRUTH" exclaimed the noble prea-
cher, and proceeded at once to deal
out the truth without stint. Honest
men always like the truth, even if it
be personally unpleasant. Rogues
and imposters have natural aver
sion to it, and would prefer any
thing else, when and where choice
is allowed them. The truth is the
Hawaiian race is rapidly decreasing.
We are sorry for it-heartily sorry.
But the decrease goes on all the
same. Denying the fact, will not
change it. The most favorable
showing possible was made at the
last census-taking. In fact, we
should not find difficulty in proving
that, in at least some instances,
the numbers were returned in
excess of population. Nevertheless,
no increase could be shown on the
books even, but decrease. And
the decrease still proceeds rapidly.
Gin and other agencies are doing
their deadly work. Opium has
come to help on the final day, and
help it will. The legislation of the
last few years has done about all it
could to exterminatc the race, and
is making visible progress. What
can be done to turn the tide? Can
didly, nothing, as far as we can see,
under the existing state of things.
The proverbial beggar is on the
horse, and he will ride to the devil
before he stops.

nations of western civilization, il it
is deemed expedient to propitiate
the tender feelings of the lovely
young damsels of fancy and fashion,
the victim of matrimonial intentions
must ingratiate the capricious affec
tions of his innamorata by present
ing string of beads, diamond
ring, or feather TO stick in her
angelic hair. Man is everywhere
pretty much the same, and woman
too. In fact, there is but one step
from the islands of the South Seas
to America or Europe. Nature is
in both sublime, and the inhabitants
thereof supremely ridiculous. The
savage and the civilized both have n
peculiar notion Of improving nature.
They both penetrate the ears and
attach weights thereto. They both
smear themselves with paint, as II
they were wooden walls that require
protection from the weather. In
the matter of general costume, the
savage is little less ridiculous than
the civilized. Being nearer to nature,
the upright carriage and graceful
movements of the former are beyond
the reach or imitation of the laced
up victims of vulgar fashion. The
civilized article is so ''fearfully and
wonderfully" fashioned, that often
there is nothing to be seen but q
jacket covered with beads, head OF
frizzled hair like frightened mop,
and something stuck on the TOP
resembling sugar loaf springled
with cabbage leaves and the flower:
off roastpig at a public dinner, witt
bundle of upholstery all packeC
on one particular spot, sufficient tc
furnish a hospital ward, and about
as slightly as the hump on a camel''
back. Such is life. The love o.
display remains the same, and tn,
costumes of refined modern Honolulu
are about on u par, for sense ant
beauty, with those of u hundred
years ago, when old Captain Cook
found the islanders in an untutoret
primitive condition.

A CHEAP BUT DANGEROUS FUEL.

Water gas is the latest develop
ment in the line of cheap fuel, but
like a great many new and beneli-
cent inventions, it presents difficult
ties in adapting il to practical pur-
poses, for which science must find
remedy. 1t has been introduced in
Troy, n. Y, for domestic and ma
nufacturing purposes. and proved
an economical success, but tra-
gedy has shut down the works and
stopped the business for the present.
A number of citizens of Troy were
mysteriously prostrated in various
parts of the city, and three were
found dead in their rooms. The
mystery was soon traced to the wa
ter gas. 1t is entirely odorless, and
leakage, either in n building or from
outside mains, may produce sick
ness and death without any intima-
tion of its presence. Troy is the
second place in the United States to
experiment with this fuel on large
scale, Lynn, Mass. being the first.
The works at the latter place have
been successful, but several changes
have been made since they were
first established. An investigation
is new being conducted at Troy to
find, if possible, some means of
safely using the gas. Its cheapness
and convenience make those who
have used it 10th to give it up, and
all means will be used to render its
employ ment as free from danger as
possible S. +. Bulletin.

the SAVAGE AND the CIVILIZED,

To the unpoetic observation of a
matter-of-fact philosopher, there ap-
pears no wide distinction between
the characteristic personal ornament
ations Of savage tribes and the
fashionable fixings of civilized ma
tions, of a nature that would decide
cold and unsentimental reason to
pronounce the latter as widely re-
moved in essence and spirit from the
former. The light-brained votaries
of fashion, who regard the cut of
their clothes and the class and ar
rangement of their ornamental
gewgaws as the Sumn.um bonuna of
human aspirations and attainments,
may pettishiy scorn the comparison.
Nevertheless, it is apt and opposite.
Captain Cook carried with him in
his voyages a large assortment OF
toys for the barbarians of Polynesia
-looking-glasses, combs, beads,
trinkets, and Brummagem gewgaws
of various kinds-to captivate tho
vain bellies of "vexed Bermoothes.
